Risk Factors

Several factors place you at greater risk of developing endometriosis, such as:
  • Never giving birth
  • One or more relatives (mother, aunt or sister) with endometriosis
  • Any medical condition that prevents the normal passage of menstrual flow out of the body
  • History of pelvic infection
  • Uterine abnormalities

Visit Your Gynecologist (GYN)

To diagnose endometriosis and other conditions that can cause pelvic pain, your doctor will ask you to describe your symptoms, including the location of your pain and when it occurs.

Tests to check for physical clues of endometriosis include:
  • Pelvic exam
  • Ultrasound
  • Laparoscopy
